Cargo & Utility Trailer FAQs

• What is the most popular enclosed trailer size?

  The most popular enclosed trailers will depend on the intended use. If you are looking into a cargo trailer to haul your lighter lawn equipment such as trimmers, chainsaws, or weed eaters, the 6-foot wide trailers are highly popular. However, if you need your enclosed cargo trailer to carry larger equipment or motorcycles, you may want to check out the options for 7-foot to 8.5-foot wide trailers.

  If you are interested in an enclosed trailer to use as a vendor trailer or as a mobile market, we recommend looking into some options for much larger trailers. We typically recommend at least 16-foot to 24-foot trailers for these types of occupational uses. For hauling large equipment and vehicles, you will need at least 16 feet in length for your enclosed cargo trailer.

• What should I look for in an enclosed trailer?

  What to look for in a trailer will mainly hinge on how you intend to use it. For example, if you are searching for a specific box trailer for business use, you will need to look at some of the more particular specifications and features that will help with your unique hauling needs.

  You will need to consider several factors when shopping for cargo trailers:

  • Size: Be sure the trailer you are looking at will be large enough to carry your haul. You will need a longer trailer if you have equipment that won’t fit.
  • Payload capacity: Make sure that your trailer will have the ability to bear the weight of your typical payload.
  • Axle strength: The payload capacity is closely related to the power of the axles. You will need axles that can withstand the weight you need to transport for heavier loads.
  • Personal necessities: Be sure to add the features and functions that you will need for storage, convenience, and functionality.

• How long will an enclosed trailer last?

  The enclosed trailers that we offer are made to keep hauling your stuff for years to come. While everything will need replacing eventually, the manufacturer’s warranty on many of our haulers keeps your trailer protected for years to come. Knowing that your investment in a new enclosed cargo trailer will keep trucking, you can have peace of mind.
